The viscosity of magma plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the Earth: from the
crystallization of a magma ocean during its initial stages to modern-day volcanic processes …

The incorporation of carbon into slab-derived silicate melts is a vital process that boosts
carbon release and transfer at convergent plate margins. The available models mostly …

The continental crust is produced by the solidification of aluminosilicate‐rich magmas which
are sourced from deep below the surface. Migration of the magma depends on the density …

The first version of the machine learning greybox model i-Melt was trained to predict latent
and observed properties of K 2 O-Na 2 O-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 melts and glasses. Here, we extend …

Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations on a carbonate‐silicate‐metal melt were
performed to study speciation and coordination changes as a function of pressure and …

Carbon‐bearing dense silicate melts may account for the seismically weak layers on top of
the mantle transition zone (MTZ) at 13–14 GPa. How carbon is incorporated into silicate …

Carbonate melts have been proposed to exist in the lower mantle, but their interaction with
other lower mantle melt compositions is poorly understood. To understand miscibility in the …

The results on dissolution of flat-faced synthetic diamond crystals of octahedral habit in an
Fe-Ni-S melt at 4.0 GPa and 1 400° C are presented. It has been established that the …

The physical properties of magma strongly influence key geological processes. For
example, high magma viscosity (η) promotes explosive volcanic eruptions, while lower η …

Carbon is ubiquitous throughout the Earth's surface, but plays an important role in the
Earth's interior as well. Carbon is known to influence a host of physical properties in …
